Represented by the Research Project Manager Miss. Lina Qtaishat, We Love Reading has participated in the workshop organized by the Korean National Committee for UNESCO in Seoul, titled ‘The Bridge.’ The workshop brought together partners of the Bridge program from Africa, Asia, and Europe, with Jordan represented as the only participant from the Middle East, through the We Love Reading program.
The workshop aimed to exchange experiences among partners regarding lifelong learning and education programs in different regions, as well as discuss future collaboration opportunities. On the first day, Ms. Lina presented the best practices implemented by the program in its projects during the year 2022, specifically focusing on scientific research and studying the impact of the We Love Reading program on the ‘Reading Ambassadors’ and children participating in loud reading sessions. She also highlighted the program’s latest achievements. This was followed by a brief workshop on program planning, implementation, and the use of digital tools for reporting, provided by the KNCU team.
On the second day, Ms. Lina engaged in individual meetings on behalf of Prof. Rana Dajani, the program’s founder, with the KNCU team to discuss the potential sustainability of collaboration and the upcoming updates on the “We Love Reading” projects.
In a wonderful gesture on the third day, students from Seoul and Busan universities delivered presentations demonstrating their understanding and analysis of partner projects, including the We Love Reading program. They also presented their unique suggestions for the program’s development and support. Miss. Lina, The Research Project Manager at We Love Reading, remarked: “I was particularly impressed by their profound understanding of the essence of the “We Love Reading” program, characterized by its simplicity and its applicability in any setting. Moreover, I appreciated their use of precise terminology related to the “Reading Ambassadors” and read-aloud sessions for children.”
